I must say, Im deeply intrigued. To have gotten the attention from a man like yourself is no small feat, but to do so yet again.. Well, Id say we clone soldiers must be doing something right.. But so bold is your decision to offer up such an immense wealth of gear - one could say you're borderline crazy when these assets could very well be used by your soldiers.. You know, provided they live through the experience.. Those Plasma Rifles have a tendency to get mighty hot.
But what Im more interested in is something more curious, and Im sure I speak for a great deal of others. Youre willing to spend an approximate 1,619,401,250,000 ISK, assuming every clone meets this challenge at its maximum.. So, I have an inquiry.. Why spend such an exorbitant amount of ISK on a challenge? Well, its obvious you want to see if its worth funding your ownmercs with the technology.. But wouldnt it be so much cheaper just to - and Im snowballing here - replace them with trained soldiers such as us, we who have already learned to live without the pesky self preservation drive..?
Or perhaps I've a better understanding than you realize... Because I think youre terrified of us, Mr. Mordu, and rightly so.. |

For his sake, I hope he makes good on those rewards. Ive met one clone, a brute who wears an amplified Ak.0 Suit. Saw him break a man in half for shooting him in the head... and that was before he had his spirits.. |

And that's exactly what has concerned so many clone soldiers - seeing Mordu "bored" enough that he just wants to throw guns around and watch the body count rise for a short period of time is absolutely terrible for morale. If he wants to take them to amazing places, show them rewards that they can't get working for anyone else , and give them a reason to live again after every death - he's going to need to start giving them a taste of his real plans and stop playing his cards so close to his chest all the time.
Hell, if hes willing to shell out the ISK, I'll work for him and his gang of misfits. If hes got an edge on any other mercenary group its longevity. Doubt he could afford to pay my salary though.
Boredom or not, I really dont see what the fuss is all about. Money got us into this technology and like it or not its the real reasonwe all wanted it. so why not have a little fun at the expense of some poor miscreants who just want to live their one meaningless life - what a waste. Mordu gives me the rounds and I'll drop any sorry son ofa ***** who looked the wrong way. Save me the trouble of having to manufacture the damned things.
Can pretend to be all moral, all of you, but we all know the game. You fight, you die, you get paid and damn the rest. Civi's shouldnt have been in a combat zone. And before anyone gets some impression im a mad psychopath, them Capsuleers up top killed more people just by losing their ships than we ever did - so dont act like this is some exclusive thing to Clone soldiers. Heh, I remember seeing some charred bodies on Caldari Prime from that Titan... Made some great postcards.. |

Furthermore, each of said empires fear that the cycle of life and death by us, the cloned soldiers, can lead to a loss in our humanity. By tempting us to engage in such hostile acts simply for the desire to acquire more fuel for the fire could lead in just that.
I precaution all of you, do not let these materialistic rewards fool you. It is okay to seek the tools of your trade, but do not forget your loyalties and why you exist.
Heh, should run that speech by the Matari in Amarr. Im sure they'd be apt to tell you how grand their 'existence' is.
Loyalty is synonymous with control. Let the Federation, or the Empire or whatever have your 'loyalty' and the next time you wake up from death will be to a bunch of guns pointed at you just before they terminate the rest of your clones and read you your rights. Live free, unchained and dont let anyone take that away - because what could they really do to stop you...? |

The man who held hostage an entire planet for several months with only an handful of Mercs at his side?
Never got his name. Was just something I saw in passing. |

I could stand to kill a few people for some Drop or Crash on the side. Amazing what that stuff will do on the field, one good dose on the wrist and youre suddenly wearing a necklace made of kidneys and ball bearings with a depleted nova knife in one hand.
Suffice to say, thats a lot of ISK and Im sure his less entrepeneural types are shocked he just threw it away. Caldari Colonel makes about 40 ISK a month last I heard, so to be a grunt and hear about that kind of expenditure - seemingly for fun and games - must play the heart strings a bit.
Think we all owe those grunts a formal apology for being able to live to see our earnings. Poor bastards. Must feel real bad to diewithout even getting to see the end of the contract. |

Well it's not like that isk was earned with even the tiniest amount of his own work, I wouldn't be surprised if mordu paid his employees in the range the caldari pay their own. I wouldn't necessarily call it thrown away, maybe misused since he could've rewarded us in a much better way for the same amount.
You dont know much about Mordu then. Guy has a habit of taking the more important contracts and going out in the field to supervise the success personally. Much beyond that, I hear most of his mercs retire after a few years; maybe a decade. |

Also, I'd need to know their pay range for that to mean anything, as far as I know mordu pilots might retire with 40 isk a month.

Interesting, Vermaak. Tell me, why is it you dont have a band of hellions of your own? Is that simply by choice, preferring to waste your talent - assuming it is so easy - or it is because maybe when the world is saying that youre wrong, defiantly proclaiming otherwise is your method of convincing..? |

They have my respect because they have lead their people to controlling vast amounts of systems, with a combined larger size than that of the empires. From what I've read his legion mostly works for the caldari, making it more or less an unofficial part of the caldari navy that also does mercenary work. While I do admit that most people can't hold people's loyalty for that long. Mordu has chosen to run a mercenary company, rather than the harsh outline of a civilization. I'm assuming you're not speaking of the Sisters of Eve, but of the "pirate factions." Soldier, you may wish to live among some of those entities before you praise them too highly. They are not as universally "evil" as some self-righteous capsuleers wish to make them out as, but, for the most part, they are what a hard life has made them: the barbarians at the gates. I assumed the name would hint it but I performed as a fighter bomber pilot in sansha's navy before being aboard fatal's ship working maintenance. I respect the leaders that I've worked with the most, especially the one that I am related to, but I admire the ones I haven't for bringing their people to the land of prosperity.
Hah. As if Sansha would allow one of his own to flutter off with any sort of freedom. Youre either a mindless cybernetic slave or a 'True' Sansha, and Kuvakei doesnt let those go so easily. Youve quite the reputation, but much like youre immediate dismissal of Mordu's leadership, Im not so gullible. |
